“Well, we eat what we can, and what we can’t, we can.”

This clever witticism elicited a good deal of laughter.

You have to know your audience, and how to talk to them. If you are approaching a bank, or venture capitalists, or a group of investors, or your partners, you need to tailor your business plan presentation to your audience.

Build your company’s business plan in Business Plan Pro. Then, as you prepare for each new meeting, save a copy of your plan, and use that copy to refine your text to use words, phrases, and language that your intended audience will understand. Then, generate your customized presentation with Business Plan Pro’s Reports feature and PowerPoint export tool.

When your business is on the line, you have to tailor your plan, and not depend on a canned presentation.
